How do I remove the metal ratnest pipes?

[leeroy_25]

Guy\'s I am converting to single turbo and a little stuck on how best to get the metal ratnest pipe work off from under the plenum? I have then pleum off but there are still a lot of pipes and plugs about.. I can see some little screws but they do not seem kean to come un-done.. cannot see anything else holding the metal rail in place. Please can someone advise what I need to get off, in what order and how so I do not break anything in the process.

Thank you

Take the coil packs off then you will see the bolts holding it on

Okay. so unbolt the hole coil pack assembly and frame work together?
It looks like some fuel/oil lines or something are attached to the ratnest pipe frame?? What\'s the deal there? do I need to get the tiny screws undone?? They are solid!

Cheers

nope you dont need to undo the tiny screws.
There are 3 12mm bolts screwing into the engine.
you also wont be able to budge the pipes much till you disconnect the fuel lines.
i usually cut the lines and replace them as its always a good idea as they are usually very old.

Nope just take the coil packs off and leave the rats nest where it is.
The coil packs are held on with 4 10mm bolts if i remember correctly.
then the 12mm bolts will be exposed, remove these, cut the fuel lines unplug the solenoids and disconnect the remaining vac hoses and water hoses and she should be yours.
